The Clarity of Light by Jade Church
3.0
This is the second book in the Kingdom of Stars duology. Saiph and Auren have learned they are mates and are working to rebuild Auren's kingdom. There was a nice little recap of the previous book in the front, which I greatly appreciated. I think more sequels should include something like that.
The plot of this book, however, fell kind of flat for me. The first was so intriguing with the banter, the tension, and the conflict. Most of that was resolved in book one, so the only thing left is a quest into the forest and the final battle. I think more conflict and tension with the characters would have really helped push this novel to better heights. The final battle also seemed rushed. There was no real loss from any of the protagonists and the antagonist seemed to fall a little too quickly.
The best parts of this book were the spicy scenes. The connection between the two FMCs can be felt while reading, which I really enjoyed.
